Colin Firth In Talks To Join ‘Kursk’

Colin Firth is in talks to board Thomas Vinterberg’s submarine pic Kursk opposite Matthias Schoenaerts. The fact-based survival drama, which starts production this fall, has Saving Private Ryan scribe Robert Rodat adapting the Robert Moore book A Time To Die. The film centers on the true story of the Kursk, a nuclear-powered Russian submarine that sank during a training exercise in the Barents Sea in 2000. Twenty-three sailors survive the crash and desperately wait for help to arrive while their oxygen runs out minute-by-minute.
